Rugs Are Best When You Have Furry Feet

Happy Bunday! Thanks, Kaley and bunny Tonks! Kaley writes:

My bunny Tonks (yes, named after the Harry Potter character) decided she hated our slippery floor. We bought a rug so she could have space to run around. Lately, she’s been exploring and sticks a paw or two out onto the floor before scurrying back to the safety of her rug!

I wish I could have rugs down for my bunnies, but they have a bad rug-eating habit. To them, any fabric = roots that must be cut! The best solution for them is cardboard, and while it makes my house look awful, it gives them just enough grip, plus they can chew it all they want.

I made “rabbit runways” by getting strips of indoor/outdoor carpet from a building supply store. It comes in a 12′ width, and you can have them cut off 2′ strips – the bunnies chew it (but don’t swallow it; you need to be careful about that) but is inexpensive enough that it doesn’t much matter.

Thank you 🙂 I think she’s quite the pretty girl! She likes to visit my mom up on the couch when we visit since we cover that whole area with a blanket. She’s so far away from my lounging area at home so no couch snuggles here! Hopefully she will get mischievous soon and come visit 😉

Pretty bun! And a great HP name too! I have wood floors and for my buns i use those large inter-connecting foam play mats (look like giant puzzle pieces). They provide great traction, are inexpensive, can be configured to fit any space, and my buns don’t chew on them.
